THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 
MEDICAL  SCHOOL 


HISTORICAL  NOTE. 

This  institution,  the  oldest  Medical  School  in  the  United 
States,  was  founded  in  1765  by  Dr.  John  Morgan,  who  filled  in  it 
the  first  medical  professorship  created  in  North  America.  In  his 
opening  “Discourse  Upon  the  Institution  of  Medical  Schools  in 
America,”  delivered  in  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  May  30,  1765, 
Dr.  Morgan  uttered  these  prophetic  words : “Perhaps  this  medical 
institution,  the  first  of  its  kind  in  America,  though  small  in  its 
beginning,  may  re- 
ceive a constant  in- 
crease of  strength, 
and  annually  exert 
new  vigor.  It  may 
collect  a number  of 
young  persons,  of 
more  than  ordinary 
abilities,  and  so  im- 
prove their  knowl- 
edge as  to  spread 
its  reputation  to 
distant  parts.  By 
sending  these 
abroad  duly  quali- 
fied, or  by  exciting 
an  emulation 
amongst  men  of 
parts  and  literature, 
it  may  give  birth  to  other  useful  institutions  of  a similar  nature,  or 
occasional  rise,  by  its  example,  to  numerous  societies  of  different 
kinds,  calculated  to  spread  the  light  of  knowledge  through  the 
whole  American  continent,  wherever  inhabited.” 

Through  Dr.  Morgan,  the  pupil  of  Hunter  in  London  and  of 
Cullen  in  Edinburgh,  the  graduates  of  this  school  take  a just  pride 
in  regarding  it  as  the  lineal  descendant  of  the  best  medical  schools 
of  Great  Britain  in  the  last  century.  Dr.  Morgan  was  soon  joined 
by  another  pupil  of  Cullen,  Dr.  William  Shippen,  as  Professor  of

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


MEDICAL  HALL,  1829-1874. 

Anatomy  and  Surgery,  thus  forming  another  tie  of  relationship  to 
the  celebrated  University  of  Edinburgh,  whose  methods  of  in- 
struction were  substantially  adopted  here.  In  the  next  year  Dr. 
Adam  Kuhn  was  added  as  Professor  of  Botany  and  Materia 
Medica;  and  on  June  21,  1768,  a commencement  was  held,  at 
which  medical  honors  were  bestowed,  the  first  in  point  of  time  in 
North  America.  In  1769,  Dr.  Benjamin  Rush  was  elected  to  the 
Professorship  of  Chemistry,  while  Dr.  Thomas  Bond,  one  of  the 
trustees  of  the  College  of  Philadelphia,  delivered  lectures  on  Clin- 
ical Medicine  in  the  Pennsylvania  Hospital. 

To  the  faculty  thus  composed  of  Morgan,  Shippen,  Kuhn  and 
Rush  have  succeeded,  at  various  times,  professors  whose  repu- 
tations have  been  national,  such  as  Barton,  Wistar,  Chapman, 
Physick,  Dewees,  Horner,  Hare,  Gibson,  Jackson,  George  B. 
Wood,  Hodge,  James  B.  Rogers,  Carson,  Pepper,  Francis  Gurney 
Smith,  Neill,  Henry  H.  Smith,  Leidy,  D.  Hayes  Agnew,  Goodell, 
the  younger  Pepper,  Stille,  Ashhurst,  Horatio  C.  Wood  and 
Norris.

EQUIPMENT. 

The  buildings  connected  with  the  Medical  Department  are : 
Old  Medical  Hall;  the  new  Medical  Laboratory  Building;  Wistar 
Institute  of  Anatomy;  the  Laboratory  of  Hygiene;  Hare  Labora- 
tory of  Chemistry;  Pepper  Clinical  Laboratory;  Phipps  Institute; 
Southeastern  Dispensary ; and  the  Hospital  system,  in  which  are  in- 
cluded the  Agnew  Surgical  Pavilion,  the  Gibson  Wing  for  Chronic 
Diseases,  the  Maternity,  and  the  Main  Hospital  Building;  it  also 
includes  the  Nurses’  Dormitories,  Laundry,  Mortuary  and  Chapel, 
and  Isolation  Building. 

Laboratories  of  Pathology , Physiology  and  Pharmacology. — 
This  building  is  unsurpassed  in  facilities  for  graduate  and  under- 
graduate work.  It  has  a frontage  along  Hamilton  Walk  of  337 
feet,  and  a depth  of  192  feet;  is  constructed  of  fireproof  material, 
and  is  two  stories  in  height  above  a high  basement.  It  is  quad- 
rangular in  shape,  and  so  constructed  around  a courtyard  as  to 
give  all  the  main  laboratories  and  research  rooms  a north  light. 
The  architecture  is  in  the  English  Collegiate  style  of  the  middle 
17th  Century,  and  is  in  harmony  with  the  style  of  the  other  late 
University  buildings. 

There  are  two  large  amphitheatres  in  the  rear  of  the  build- 
ing with  a seating  capacity  of  400  each,  and  two  large  demonstra-

tion  rooms,  seating  185  each.  The  departments  of  Physiology, 
Medical  Research  and  Pharmacodynamics  occupy  the  first  floor 
and  basement,  while  the  second  floor  is  devoted  exclusively  to 
pathology,  with  accommodations  for  a number  of  professors  of 
other  departments.  Among  the  principal  rooms  are  those  devoted 
to  pharmacy,  physical  diagnosis,  bandaging,  research,  and  obstet- 
rics in  the  basement.  On  the  first  floor  are  rooms  equipped  for 
aseptic  operations  on  lower  animals ; numerous  small  rooms

for  research  work,  professors  and  assistants ; rooms  for  sub-sec- 
tion teaching  in  digestion,  circulation,  respiration,  calorimetry, 
nerve,  muscle,  special  senses,  etc. ; and  photographic  dark  room, 
repair  and  storage  rooms.  On  this  floor  are  three  large  labora- 
tories for  physiology,  practical  pharmacodynamics  and  medical 
research,  respectively ; a library,  and  rooms  for  assistants  and 
research.  The  chief  purpose  of  the  second  floor  is  for  labora- 
tory instruction  in  pathology.  Most  of  the  north  front  of 
the  building  is  devoted  to  laboratories  for  advanced  students  in 
experimental  pathology  and  pathological  bacteriology  and  the

dates the  laboratory  of  comparative  pathology  and  tropical  medi- 
cine; the  west  wing  is  occupied  by  the  pathological  museum,  the 
gross  morbid  anatomy  demonstration  room,  photographic  rooms, 
and  rooms  for  animal  operations.  The  front  of  the  laboratory  of 
pathological  histology  consists  almost  entirely  of  glass  and  is 
located  so  as  to  face  a spacious  court  to  the  north,  thus  insuring 
excellent  and  uniform  light  and  admirably  adapting  it  for  micro-

scopic  work  carried  on  by  a large  class.  In  a similar  section  of 
the  building,  east  of  the  central  hall,  with  similar  front  arrange- 
ments to  insure  light  for  microscopic  work,  are  located  two  small 
laboratories  for  the  teaching  of  surgical  pathology,  neuro-pathol- 
ogy and  clinical  pathological  technology ; the  private  rooms  for 
the  instructors  of  these  branches  open  upon  these  larger  labora- 
tories. 

Logan  Hall. — This  building  was  originally  known  as  “Medical 
Hall,”  and  was  constructed  in  1874  for  the  purpose  of  housing  the 
entire  Medical  Department,  Since  that  time  the  school  has  grown

and  expanded  so  rapidly  that  all  the  branches  of  medicine  except 
anatomy  and  surgery  now  occupy  new  quarters.  The  courses  in 
anatomy,  including  embryology,  histology  and  osteology  are  given 
in  this  building.  The  building  contains  two  large  amphitheatres 
and  three  demonstration  rooms. 

Robert  Hare  Laboratory  of  Chemistry. — The  first  three  floors 
of  this  building  are  devoted  entirely  to  the  subject  of  chemistry. 
There  are  ample  facilities  for  laboratory  instruction,  as  well  as 
for  research  work.  On  the  fourth  floor  of  the  building  is  a large 
anatomical  laboratory,  or  dissecting  room,  40  by  140  feet.  It  is 
well  lighted  and  ventilated  upon  all  sides,  and  skylights  are  over 
the  entire  hall.  It  is  equipped  with  numerous  washstands,  hot  and 
cold  water,  and  every  convenience.  Cleanliness  is  rigidly  enforced, 
and  the  cadavers  furnished  to  the  dissecting  room  are  preserved 
by  refrigeration. 

Laboratory  of  Hygiene. — This  laboratory  building  is  the  gift 
of  the  late  Henry  Charles  Lea,  and  the  equipment  of  the  late 
Henry  C.  Gibson,  both  of  Philadelphia.  It  is  devoted  to  graduate 
work  in  bacteriology  and  hygiene.  The  student  laboratory  is

large  and  well  lighted,  and  on  the  main  floor  is  a lecture  hall 
and  an  amphitheatre  for  classes  in  practical  hygiene.  There  is 
also  a museum  and  drafting  room.  The  second  floor  contains 
class  rooms  for  special  graduate  and  undergraduate  students  in 
bacteriology ; each  student  is  supplied  with  an  individual  micro- 
scope and  such  apparatus  as  is  necessary  to  conduct  elementary 
studies  in  bacteriology.  Opportunities  for  research  work  in 
advanced  hygiene  and  bacteriology  are  offered  to  those  having  the

requisite  preliminary  training — all  work  coming  under  this  head 
being  done  under  the  direct  supervision  of  the  laboratory  staff. 
Talented  students  who  desire  to  become  investigators  or  teachers 
in  the  field  of  sanitary  science,  may  become  candidates  for  the 
Scott  Fellowship,  which  was  endowed  for  the  purpose  of  promot- 
ing the  increase  of  knowledge  in  that  subject. 

The  Wistar  Institute  of  Anatomy. — This  Institute  was 
founded  for  the  preservation  and  increase  of  the  Wistar  and 
Horner  Museum,  and  for  the  promoting  of  advanced  study  and 
research  in  anatomy  and  biology.  The  museum  was  founded  more 
than  a century  ago  and  has  been  annually  augumented,  and  is  un- 
surpassed for  the  number  and  variety  of  its  specimens  illustrat-

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


ing  the  normal  and  morbid  anatomy  of  every  portion  of  the 
human  body.  It  also  contains  large  numbers  of  preparations  in 
comparative  anatomy  used  in  illustrating  the  lectures.  The  In- 
stitute occupies  a building  which  will  ultimately  cover  an  entire 
city  block.  The  present  building  is  four  stories  high  and  has  a 
frontage  of  223  feet,  by  66  feet,  and  a wing  46  by  72  feet.  The 
museum  is  open  daily,  except  Sunday,  from  10  A.  M.  to  4 P.  M. 
The  Institute  is  endowed  sufficiently  to  provide  means  for  the

prosecution  of  advanced  and  original  work  for  which  it  was 
intended.  It  is  equipped  with  several  laboratories  and  every 
facility  is  provided  for  the  work  of  original  investigators.  While 
the  museum  is  free  for  the  inspection  of  all,  it  is  principally  for 
the  purpose  of  affording  facilities  and  assistance  to  post-gradu- 
ates and  advanced  students.  In  addition  to  its  research  and  mu- 
seum work,  the  Institute  publishes  five  journals,  viz:  “Journal 
of  Morphology,”  “The  Journal  of  Comparative  Neurology  and 
Psychology,”  “The  American  Journal  of  Anatomy,”  “The  Ana-

THE  HOSPITAL. 

The  University  Hospital  System  consists  of  six  buildings, 
located  in  the  two  city  squares  bounded  by  34th,  36th,  Spruce  and 
Pine  streets.  In  these  buildings  are  six  amphitheatres,  and  four- 
teen wards  with  a total  of  350  beds.  The  medical  staff  of  the 
Hospital  consists  of  more  than  13 1 physicians  and  86  nurses.  In 
the  basement  of  the  central  buildings  are  surgical  and  medical 
dispensaries  and  dispensaries  for  special  diseases.  Extensions 
have  been  recently  made  to  each  of  the  main  Hospital  buildings  in 
the  rear,  so  that  each  floor  of  every  building  is  now  provided  with  a 
spacious  sun  parlor.  Extensive  improvements  are  also  being  made 
to  the  Hospital  buildings  along  Spruce  street  between  34th  and 
36th  streets.  The  front  walls  of  these  are  being  brought  out  to  the 
Spruce  street  building  line,  which  improvements,  when  completed, 
will  give  the  hospital  a total  capacity  of  more  than  400  beds.

For  the  benefit  of  the  students  who  become  sick  during 
their  College  term,  a cheerful  and  comfortable  furnished  ward 
has  been  set  aside  in  the  hospital.  There  the  students  receive  the 
best  medical  treatment  free,  only  a nominal  charge  being  made 
for  board. 

The  following  are  brief  descriptions  of  the  principal  build- 
ings connected  with  the  Hospital : 


nurses’  dormitory. 


William  Pepper  Clinical  Laboratory. — This  building  was 
erected  by  Provost  William  Pepper  as  a memorial  to  his  father. 
It  adjoins  the  University  Hospital.  The  Laboratory  is  devoted 
entirely  to  graduate  work,  its  purpose  being  to  promote  the  interest 
of  patients  in  providing  the  facilities  for  the  prosecution  of 
minute  clinical  studies,  and  original  researches ; and  to  advance  the 
interests  of  science  by  the  publication  of  the  results  of  such  work. 
No  undergraduate  instruction  is  given.  The  Associates  and 
Volunteer  Associates  of  the  Laboratory  are  appointed  for  the 
purpose  of  carrying  out  certain  lines  of  investigation  for  which 
they  have  special  preparation.  The  laboratory  does  not  encourage 


1 6 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


post-graduate  work,  but  has  received  a limited  number  of  post- 
graduate students  from  time  to  time  for  the  purpose  of  training 
them  to  carry  on  investigations. 

The  Gibson  Wing  for  Chronic  Diseases,  while  originally 
erected  for  the  treatment  of  heart  and  lung  diseases,  now  contains 
the  Children's  Medical  Ward  of  20  beds;  the  Ward  for  Chronic 
Surgical  Cases,  of  20  beds ; the  Students'  Medical  Ward,  of  10 
beds,  and  a number  of  private  rooms. 

To  the  front  of  the  Gibson  Wing  has  been  added  a building, 
or  wing,  which  forms  the  first  of  the  new  wings  of  the  Hospital, 
all  the  others  to  be  extended  in  the  front  and  brought  out  to  the 
building  line  to  correspond  with  this  one.  This  building  is  known 
as  the  Medical  Clinical  Laboratory  Building,  and  contains  the 
laboratories  of  Clinical  Pathology  for  the  use  of  the  Hospital  staff 
and  for  the  fourth-year  students  in  medicine. 

D.  Hayes  Agnew  Memorial  Pavilion. — This  building  was 
named  in  honor  of  the  great  American  surgeon  who  had  such 
a long  and  important  career  at  the  University.  The  building 
contains  four  wards  and  three  amphitheatres  for  clinical  in- 
struction. 

In  the  Hospital  yard  is  an  isolated  building  constructed  for 
the  accommodation  of  patients  who  have  contracted  contagious 
diseases  while  patients  in  the  University  Hospital.

(On  which  Medical  Building  is  located.) 

In  the  Hospital  yard  there  is  also  a Laundry  Building  in 
which  all  the  laundering  of  the  Hospital  is  done. 

Another  small  building  is  devoted  to  a Mortuary  and  Chapel. 

There  is  also  a Dormitory  for  nurses  with  accommodation  for 
about  one  hundred  nurses  and  student-nurses  connected  with  the 
Hospital.  A training  School  for  Nurses  has  been  attached  to  the 
University  Hospital  since  1886. 

On  the  third  floor  of  the  Agnew  Pavilion  is  a well-equipped 
X-Ray  Laboratory  which  forms  an  important  part  of  the  Uni- 
versity Hospital  system. 

The  Maternity  Pavilion  is  located  along  Hamilton  Walk,  and 
has  accommodations  for  about  fifty  patients,  and  an  amphitheatre 
seating  two  hundred.  It  also  contains  several  wards  and  nurseries, 
and  a sun  parlor. 

The  Southeastern  Dispensary  was  founded  twenty  years  ago 
for  the  purpose  of  giving  medical  instruction  to  students  in  ob- 
stetrics. Each  fourth-year  student  is  required  to  spend  at  least 


8 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


a week  at  the  Dispensary,  where  he  gets  an  average  of  seven  to 
eight  cases  a week.  The  building,  which  is  located  at  736  South 
Tenth  street,  is  well  equipped.  Three  students  and  two  trained 
nurses  are  in  attendance  all  the  time.  The  Dispensary  furnishes 
medical  attendance  to  an  average  of  twelve  hundred  families  a 
year.  A special  free  dispensary  is  also  conducted  in  the  building. 

Henry  Phipps  Institute  for  the  Study,  Prevention  and  Treat- 
ment of  Tuberculosis. — This  Institute  is  located  at  Third  and 


’73  MEMORIAL  GATE  AND  ENTRANCE  TO  HAMILTON  WALK. 


Pine  streets,  and  was  recently  endowed  by  Henry  Phipps,  of  New 
York,  for  the  study,  prevention  and  treatment  of  tuberculosis.  A 
new  building  is  about  to  be  erected  at  the  Northeast  corner  of 
Seventh  and  Lombard  streets.  The  Institute  was  established 
about  seven  years  ago  in  a section  of  the  city  in  which  tuber- 
culosis was  most  prevalent,  with  the  view  to  segregation  of 
patients  without  removing  them  too  far  from  their  families  and 
friends.  The  Institute  has  demonstrated  that  patients  can  be 
cured  in  the  city,  provided  they  can  receive  proper  food  and  treat-

ment ; the  principal  work,  however,  will  be  preventive  and  edu- 
cational. Both  the  wards  and  large  dispensary  service  of  this 
Institute  are  devoted  entirely  to  cases  of  tuberculosis.  The  policy 
of  the  Institute  is  to  include  three  fields  of  activity,  represented  by 
three  corresponding  departments,  viz:  Laboratory,  Clinical  and 
the  Sociological  Department,  each  being  under  a separate  Direc- 
tor. The  Institute  ofifers  both  to  post-graduate  students  and  to

advanced  undergraduates  an  exceptional  opportunity  for  observa- 
tion along  this  special  line  of  medical  research. 

The  University  Hospital  facilities  are  augumented  by  those 
of  the  Philadelphia  Hospital,  which  adjoins  the  campus  and  which 
has  a capacity  of  1,600  beds.  In  this  the  students  also  have  free 
access. 

THE  LIBRARY. 

The  University  Library  consists  of  300,000  volumes  and  up- 
wards of  50,000  pamphlets.  The  main  collection  is  housed  in  a 


20 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


building  on  the  campus,  and  is  well  supplied  with  reading  rooms 
for  undergraduates  and  with  seminar  libraries  on  the  upper 
floors  for  the  graduate  school.  In  addition,  there  is  a large  num- 
ber of  departmental  libraries.  Among  these  is  the  Medical  Library 
of  more  than  21,000  volumes,  and  to  which  is  added  practically 
all  new  medical  publications  as  they  appear.  All  the  principal 
American  and  European  medical  periodicals  are  kept  on  file. 
There  are  also  special  libraries  devoted  respectively  to : Physi- 
ology, Pathology  and  Pharmacology.  Students  also  have  access 
to  the  Library  of  the  College  of  Physicians,  of  more  than  90,000 
volumes ; this  library  is  only  a short  distance  from  the  campus,  and 
is  the  second  largest  medical  library  in  the  United  States. 

The  Library  is  open  throughout  the  year,  until  10  P.M.  during 
the  scholastic  year,  and  until  5 P.  M.  during  the  summer  vacation. 
All  students  of  the  University  have  the  free  use  of  the  Library 
extended  to  them,  and  students  are  permitted  to  take  out  such 
books  as  they  need  for  their  work. 

A feature  of  the  University’s  collections  is  the  large  number 
of  collections  on  special  subjects.

COURSE  OF  INSTRUCTION. 

The  course  of  instruction  extends  over  a period  of  four 
years,  with  one  session  in  each  year,  beginning  on  the  fourth  Fri- 
day of  September  and  ending  on  the  third  Wednesday-  in  June. 
The  course  may  be  said  to  be  divided  into  two  periods  of  two 
years  each;  the  first  period  devoted  to  the  fundamental  medical 
sciences,  Chemistry,  Anatomy,  Physiology,  and  Pathology;  the 
second  period  to  the  clinical  subjects,  Medicine,  Surgery,  Ob- 
stetrics and  the  specialties. 

First  Period. — The  subjects  of  the  first  two  years  have  been 
arranged  according  to  a modification  of  the  concentration  system. 
By  this  system  the  student  is  enabled  to  concentrate  his  energy 
upon  one  or  two  subjects,  and  must  master  these  before  he  is 
allowed  to  continue  the  course.  Thus  the  first  year  is  devoted 
chiefly  to  anatomy,  including  embryology,  normal  histology,  and 
osteology,  to  materia  medica,  pharmacy,  and  to  physiological 
chemistry.

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


The  subjects  of  the  second  year  follow  in  logical  sequence 
those  of  the  year  preceding.  Having  been  grounded  in  the  struc- 
ture of  the  human  subject  in  a state  of  health,  and  having  famili- 
arized himself  with  the  chemistry  of  normal  tissues  and  body 
fluids,  the  student  enters  upon  the  study  of  the  functions  which  the 
tissues  of  the  body  perform  in  a state  of  health,  and  the  disturb- 
ance of  functions  and  alterations  of  structures  that  are  mani- 
fested in  disease.  The  time  of  the  second  year  is  thus  given,  over 
largely  to  physiology,  pathology  and  bacteriology.  In  addition  to 
these  the  work  of  the  second  year  includes  a course  in  physical 
diagnosis. 

Instruction  upon  the  subjects  of  the  first  two  years  is  almost 
entirely  practical,  so  that  the  greater  part  of  the  student’s  time 
is  spent  in  the  laboratories.  In  the  new  laboratories  of  Pathology, 
Physiology  and  Pharmacology,  which  were  opened  in  June,  1904, 
the  students  of  this  department  are  afforded  unsurpassed  facilities 
for  practical  work  in  these  fundamental  subjects. 

Second  Period. — With  the  beginning  of  the  third  year  the 
student  enters  upon  the  second  period,  which  covers  the  third 
and  fourth  years,  and  is  devoted  almost  exclusively  to  instruction 
in  the  so-called  clinical  subjects — Medicine,  Surgery,  Obstetrics

and  the  specialties.  There  is  no  sharp  dividing  line  between  the 
work  of  the  third  and  fourth  years,  so  that  the  courses  in  the 
clinical  subjects  may  be  said  to  cover  a period  of  two  years. 

Arrangements  have  been  made  to  keep  the  student  fully  oc- 
cupied throughout  each  day.  No  especial  opportunities  are  offered 
the  student  to  engage  in  special  lines  of  work  before  he  graduates. 
In  point  of  fact,  any  desire  to  specialize  before  graduation  is 
rather  discouraged.  It  has  always  been  the  object  and  aim  of  this 
institution  to  prepare  its  students  for  the  practice  of  general 
medicine,  not  to  graduate  them  as  “specialists.”  Its  policy  has. 
been  to  offer  the  student  a well-graded,  well-proportioned  and 
comprehensive  course,  so  that  upon  his  graduation  he  stands  pre- 
pared to  practice  medicine.  Should  he  decide  to  take  up  a 
speciality  or  to  engage  in  teaching  or  investigation  after  gradua- 
tion, he  will  be  the  better  prepared  by  his  broad  education,  and 
still  better  prepared  if  he  has  had  several  years  of  clinical  ex- 
perience. 

Special  Courses. — The  work  of  the  Phipps  Institute,  which 
has  recently  through  the  benevolence  of  Mr.  Henry  Phipps  come 
under  the  control  of  the  University,  is  correlated  with  that  of  the 
School  of  Medicine,  so  that  the  advanced  students  are  offered 
ample  opportunity  to  benefit  therefrom.  Naturally,  much  of  the 
work  to  which  the  undergraduates  will  be  assigned  will  be  in 
the  line  of  clinical  and  pathological  studies  of  the  disease;  but  in 
addition  it  is  proposed  that  each  man  take  some  part  in  the  socio- 
logical work  of  the  institution,  visiting  the  homes  of  the  patients 
and  aiding  in  instructing  their  families  in  the  methods  of  escaping 


26 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


the  infection  and  in  general  hygiene  to  improve  their  welfare.  The 
Institute  offers,  too,  excellent  opportunities  for  post-graduate  and 
special  studies  in  tuberculosis. 

Courses  in  Tropical  Medicine. — The  University  contemplates 
the  establishment  of  a course  of  instruction  in  Tropical  Medicine, 
offered  in  full  or  part  as  an  elective  to  undergraduates,  and  as 
a special  course  for  post-graduate  work.  The  course  as  planned 
includes  instruction  in  Medical  Climatology  and  Geography,  Hy- 
giene of  Ships  and  of  the  Tropics,  Protozoology,  Arthropodology, 
Helminthology  and  general  Medical  Zoology,  Diseases  of  the 
Eye,  Diseases  of  the  Skin,  and  Surgical  Diseases  common  to  the 
tropics,  Pathology  of  Tropical  Diseases,  and  systematic  and 
clinical  Tropical  Medicine.  The  work  will  be  carried  out  partly 
in  the  Biological  School,  partly  in  the  Medical  School,  and  various 
hospitals  of  the  city  which  have  kindly  consented  to  co-operate 
with  the  University  in  this  matter.  The  full  course  will  continue 
for  fifteen  weeks,  and  will  include  as  projected  ten  full  units  of 
study.

THE  CAMPUS  FROM  THE  HOSPITAL. 


The  Courses  in  Public  Health,  originally  announced  in  1906, 
are  open  to  persons  holding  the  degree  in  Medicine,  or  in  special 
portions  to  any  individuals  possessing  suitable  qualifications.  The 
entire  course  extends  over  the  full  academic  session,  and  includes 
instruction  in  Sanitary  Engineering,  covering  Public  Water  Sup- 
plies and  Sanitary  Engineering  of  Buildings,  Inspection  of  Meat 
and  Milk,  Chemical  and  Physical  Methods  in  use  in  Sanitary 
Work,  Bacteriology,  Hygiene,  Physical  Training,  Social  and 
Vital  Statistics,  and  Sanitary  Legislation. 

Advanced  Work  in  Graduate  School. — The  University  Trus- 
tees have  incorporated  into  the  Graduate  School  certain  branches 
of  the  medical  curriculum,  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Physiological 
Chemistry,  Pathology  and  Bacteriology.  In  this  group  the  Gradu- 
ate School  will  admit  any  graduate  in  medicine  possessing  a 
baccalaureate  degree  for  advanced  work  for  the  Master’s  degree 
or  that  of  Ph.  D. 

METHODS  OF  INSTRUCTION. 

The  methods  of  instruction  are  varied,  but  mostly  practical. 
The  latter  include  ward  visits,  ward  classes,  clinical  conferences

and  practical  observation  in  the  wards  and  out-patient  depart- 
ment of  the  University  Hospital.  Systematic  lectures,  general 
clinics  and  recitations  have  been  found  indispensable,  but  play  a 
less  conspicuous  part  in  the  course. 

FACILITIES  FOR  INSTRUCTION. 

The  facilities  for  instruction  are  abundant.  It  is  possible 
to  offer  to  each  student  opportunities  to  come  into  personal  con- 
tact under  proper  supervision  with  a large  and  varied  series  of 
cases.  The  University  Hospital  with  its  capacity  of  350  beds  is 
operated  exclusively  for  the  Department  of  Medicine.  Ad- 
joining the  University  campus  is  the  Philadelphia  General  Hos- 
pital, with  a capacity  of  1,600  beds,  where  the  wards  are  open  to 
both  teachers  and  students  throughout  the  year ; this  not  including 
the  adjoining  Philadelphia  Insane  Hospital,  with  over  2,000  beds, 
also  available  for  teaching  purposes. 

In  addition  to  these,  extramural  teaching  is  conducted  in  the 
Children’s  and  Pennsylvania  Hospitals  by  members  of  the  teach- 
ing staff.  A voluntary  course  upon  the  contagious  diseases,  con- 
ducted at  the  Municipal  Hospital,  is  offered  to  the  members  of  the 
Graduating  Class. 

In  the  Laboratory  of  Clinical  Pathology,  every  fourth-year 
man  is  furnished  with  a desk  and  equipment,  where,  under  proper 
supervision,  he  may  apply  such  laboratory  tests  as  may  be  neces- 
sary for  the  diagnosis  and  treatment  of  those  cases  to  which  he 
has  been  assigned  in  the  Hospital.  Ninety  per  cent,  of  the  gradu- 
ating class  obtain  hospital  appointments. 

Medical  Museum. — The  Museum  of  the  Wistar  Institute  is 
unrivalled  in  this  country  as  a museum  of  Anatomy ; and  in  ad- 
dition small  working  museums  of  Anatomy  and  Applied  Anatomy 
are  maintained  for  lecture  and  study  purposes  in  Logan  Hall. 
In  the  New  Medical  Laboratory  Building  a General  Pathological 
Museum,  and  the  special  collections  in  Gynecological,  Surgical  and 
Neurological  Pathology  are  all  in  constant  use  for  teaching  and 
individual  reference  in  study. 

The  other  professional  departments  also  have  museums  de- 
voted to  special  collections  of  interest  to  those  connected  with 
their  respective  studies.  The  most  generally  interesting  collec- 
tion, however,  is  that  in  the  University  Museum,  which  consists 
of  many  valuable  antiquities  and  objects  throwing  light  upon  the 
history  and  civilization  of  man.

DEGREES,  SCHOLARSHIPS,  TUITION. 

There  are  a number  of  free  scholarships  awarded  each  class. 
Application  for  these  must  be  sent  to  the  Dean  prior  to  Septem- 
ber ioth.  There  are  also  a number  of  prizes  awarded  annually  to 
students  for  high  standard  of  work. 

The  annual  tuition  fee  in  the  Medical  School  is  $200.  There 
is  also  an  annual  fee  of  $10  for  the  Gymnasium  and  the  Houston 
Club.  For  special  or  partial  courses,  non-graduates  of  the  Univer- 
sity are  obliged  to  pay  fees  of  from  $10  to  $25  a course. 


DENTAL  HALL. 


The  degree  of  Doctor  of  Medicine  is  conferred  upon  all  grad- 
uates, provided  they  are  at  least  twenty-one  years  of  age,  and 
have  passed  all  required  examinations. 


ALLIED  DEPARTMENTS. 

Instruction  in  Dental  Science  and  Surgery  is  given  in  Dental 
Hall,  a large  building  on  the  University  Campus  devoted  entirely 
to  the  Dental  School.  One  of  the  large  rooms  on  the  second 
floor,  used  as  a clinical  operating  laboratory,  is  50  by  180  feet;

the  principal  lecture  room  seats  550.  On  the  ground  floor  is 
a museum  and  a special  dental  library,  clinical  rooms,  and  other 
laboratories  devoted  to  experimental  and  practical  work.  The 
method  of  instruction  is  similar  to  that  of  the  Medical  School. 
Each  student  has  an  operating  chair  and  a complete  set  of  instru- 
ments, and  is  obliged  to  do  a certain  amount  of  clinical  work  each 
term.  From  twenty-five  to  thirty  foreign  countries  are  represented 
annually  by  the  students  who  attend  this  school.

Veterinary  science  is  rapidly  coming  to  have  the  same  recogni- 
tion in  America  as  it  has  in  Europe.  The  Veterinary  School  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania  was  the  second  among  the  dozen 
schools  now  in  existence  in  the  United  States.  It  has  a library 
of  five  thousand  volumes,  and  the  new  building  and  hospital  cover 
an  area  260  feet  by  210  feet.

THE  DORMITORIES. 

The  Dormitories,  accommodating  nearly  a thousand  students 
and  forming  an  important  feature  of  University  life,  are  situated

on  the  campus  and  cover  an  area  of  three  city  blocks.  The  twenty- 
eight  houses  comprising  the  system  enclose  three  courts  known  as 
the  “Triangle,”  “Little  Quad,”  and  “Big  Quad.”  The  “separate 
stairway”  system  has  been  adopted,  and  students  are  thus  di- 
vided into  groups  of  from  eight  to  fifty  each.  The  rooms  are 
supplied  with  electric  light  and  steam  heat,  and  lavatory  accommo- 
dations include  hot  and  cold  shower-baths.  Rooms  are  single  or  en 
suite;  rentals  for  the  college  year,  including  care,  range  from  $55 
to  $160.  Address  W.  O.  Miller,  Bursar,  102  College  Hall. 


BOARD  AND  LODGING. 

Table  board  may  be  had  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the 
University  at  prices  ranging  from  $3.50  per  week  up.  A printed 
list  of  boarding  places,  with  or  without  lodging,  is  published  each 
year.  The  average  price  paid  by  students  in  such  quarters  for 
board  and  lodging  is  $5.50  per  week.

PHYSICAL  EDUCATION. 

The  Department  of  Physical  Education  staff  consists  of  a 
director  and  seven  Gymnasium  Instructors,  an  Ophthalmologist 
and  six  assistants.  Students  upon  matriculating  are  examined  by 
the  Director,  who  is  also  a Professor  in  the  Medical  Department, 
and  who  prescribes  the  amount  and  character  of  exercise  neces- 
sary to  keep  the  student  in  health  while  at  the  University,  a 
monthly  record  being  kept  of  his  development.  This  method 
not  only  gives  many  men,  whose  ability  might  otherwise  never 
have  been  discovered,  opportunities  to  make  athletic  teams ; but, 
what  is  more  important,  the  men  leave  the  University  better  equip- 
ped physically  for  their  future  work. 


FRANKLIN  FIELD.

GYMNASIUM  AND  FRANKLIN  FIELD. 

The  Gymnasium  Building , which  stands  on  the  west  end  of 
Franklin  Field,  consists  of  the  main  building  and  two  wings.  One- 
half  of  the  ground  floor  of  the  main  building  is  devoted  to  a 
swimming  pool,  one  hundred  feet  long;  other  portions  of  the 
ground  floor  are  divided  into  rooms  for  fencing,  sparring,  rowing, 
etc.  The  entire  second  floor  of  the  main  building  is  devoted  to  the 
gymnasium  proper.  The  wing  buildings  at  either  end  contain  the 
lockers,  and  the  offices  of  the  Physical  Director  and  of  the  Ath- 
letic Association. 


THE  SWIMMING  POOL. 


Franklin  Field , which  has  a seating  capacity  of  about  25,000, 
is  equipped  with  a quarter-mile  running  track,  which  encircles 
the  field;  it  also  has  a straight  course  of  two  hundred  and  twenty 
yards.  For  use  in  inclement  weather  there  are  within  doors  a 
rowing  tank,  baseball  cage,  squash  courts,  etc.  During  the  autumn 
the  University  and  class  football  games  are  the  attraction,  which 
in  the  spring  give  place  to  track  and  field  sports  and  baseball 
games.  The  intercollegiate  and  interacademic  relay  races  have 


36 


UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


become  features  of  the  athletic  life  of  the  University.  The  field  is 
also  the  scene  of  the  annual  gymnastic  drill  and  numerous  college 
and  class  contests  peculiar  to  Pennsylvania. 

The  University  Boat  House  is  situated  in  Fairmount  Park 
along  the  banks  of  the  Schuylkill  River,  where  a beautiful  stretch 
of  water  four  miles  long  forms  admirable  facilities  for  the  train- 
ing of  the  crew,  and  for  those  interested  in  canoeing  and  rowing. 

THE  HOUSTON  CLUB. 

The  Houston  Club  is  the  exponent  of  the  social  side  of 
Pennsylvania  student  life.  Its  home  is  Howard  Houston  Hall, 
which  is  located  in  almost  the  exact  geographical  centre  of  the 
University  group  of  buildings.  This  situation  embodies  to  a 
large  extent  the  main  idea  of  its  existence  as  a centralization  of 
undergraduate  interests.  Here  the  students  of  all  departments 
may  meet  on  common  ground,  and  pass  their  leisure  hours  in 
healthy  recreation  and  amusement.  The  equipment  includes  a 
large  central  lobby,  a library  and  reading-room,  billard  and  pool 
tables,  bowling  alley,  post  office  “sub-station,”  barber  shop,  book 
and  general  supply  store,  a luncheon  buffet  and  dining  room, 
athletic  trophy  rooms,  a large  auditorium  with  grand  organ,  rooms

for  the  University  papers  and  organizations  and  a dark  room 
for  photographic  purposes.  Every  student  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania  becomes  a member  of  the  Club. 

OTHER  CLUBS  AND  SOCIETIES. 

There  are  numerous  other  student  organizations  within  the 
University.  Membership  in  many  of  them,  such  as  the  musical 
societies,  dramatic  clubs,  automobile,  camera  and  athletic  clubs, 
the  Christian  Association,  is  open  to  all  students ; membership  in 
others  is  restricted  to  students  of  the  professional  departments, 
to  men  of  particular  political  or  religious  beliefs,  or  of  certain 
scholastic  standing.  At  present  there  are  fifty  Greek  letter  fra- 
ternities represented  by  chapters  at  the  University ; twenty-six 
general  societies ; fourteen  college  societies ; fourteen  medical 
societies ; six  law  clubs ; four  dental  societies ; one  veterinary  so- 
ciety ; twenty  preparatory  school  clubs ; twenty  undergraduate 
class  organizations ; and  sixty-two  sectional  clubs,  the  last  named 
being  composed  of  men  coming  from  the  same  countries,  states  or 
counties.  Besides  scores  of  class  organizations,  there  are  also 
eleven  local  and  fifty-one  out-of-town  alumni  societies.

SOCIAL  LIFE. 

With  the  approach  of  winter,  social  functions  begin,  and 
each  day  has  its  public  lecture,  debate,  or  other  intellectual  con- 
test. Fraternities  give  teas  and  dances;  the  clubs  and  societies 
of  the  professional  departments  give  periodical  smokers,  annual 
dinners  and  banquets;  the  glee,  banjo  and  mandolin  clubs,  and 
other  musical  organizations  given  concerts ; the  various  dramatic 
societies  their  annual  plays ; and  the  literary  societies  hold  their 
debates  with  similar  societies  from  other  colleges,  and  debating 
teams  selected  from  the  entire  student  body  meet  teams  from  other 
universities.  The  daily  paper  published  by  the  students,  and  the 
numerous  weekly  and  departmental  monthly  magazines  afford 
ample  opportunity  for  amateur  journalism. 

THE  CAMPUS  EQUIPMENT  AND  ADVANTAGES. 

Exclusive  of  sidewalks  and  streets,  the  Campus  of  the  Uni- 
versity covers  an  area  of  about  one  hundred  and  twenty  acres. 
It  is  situated  only  three  city  blocks  from  the  geographical  center 
of  Philadelphia,  and  only  six  minutes  from  the  City  Hall — the 
center  of  a population  of  over  a million  and  a half.  No  other 
educational  institution  of  equal  size  is  located  so  near  the  heart  of

a great  city.  Its  central  location  affords  students  unusual  facilities 
for  supplementing  their  courses  by  practical  work  for  completing 
their  academic  training.  Thus,  the  students  in  Finance  and  Com- 
merce and  in  Engineering  have  the  privilege  of  visiting  many  of 
the  most  extensive  industrial  plants  in  the  world.  The  American 
Philosophical  Society,  Franklin  Institute,  the  American  Academy 
of  Natural  Sciences,  and  similar  organizations  have  their  head- 
quarters and  collections  in  the  city,  to  which  students  interested 
in  the  sciences  are  always  made  welcome.  Law  students  may  wit- 
ness the  trial  of  cases  in  all  the  courts  of  the  city  and  State  and  in 
two  of  the  Federal  courts.  There  are  unexcelled  opportunities 
for  attending  operas,  theatres,  lectures  and  musical  concerts. 

Philadelphia  is  one  of  the  principal  educational  centers  of 
America,  and  for  almost  a century  and  a half  has  been  recognized 
as  the  medical  center  of  the  United  States.  Within  its  limits  there 
are  six  medical  schools,  four  dental  schools,  two  schools  of 
pharmacy,  and  one  of  veterinary  medicine,  and  in  all  of  these, 
over  five  thousand  students  are  enrolled.  There  are  also  several 
post-graduate  schools,  a number  of  excellent  museums  and  valu- 
able medical  libraries,  and  sixty-four  general  hospitals.  No-

UNIVERSITY  OF  PENNSYLVANIA 


where  in  America  can  such  facilities  for  medical  study  and  re- 
search be  equalled. 

There  are  more  than  five  thousand  students  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Pennsylvania.  The  student  body  is  a most  cosmopolitan 
gathering,  and  in  the  last  ten  years  it  has  drawn  its  students 
from  sixty-five  foreign  nations,  and  now  has  an  attendance  of 
at  least  two  hundred  and  fifty  students  from  foreign  countries 
annually. 

There  are  seventy  buildings  used  at  present  to  carry  on  the 
work  of  the  University ; of  these,  nineteen  are  devoted  to  teaching, 
eleven  to  hospitals  and  auxiliary  buildings,  twenty-eight  to  dor- 
mitories and  the  remainder  to  recreation  hall,  gymnasium,  ath- 
letics, alumni  hall,  etc.  Not  included  among  these  are  a score 
of  club  and  fraternity  houses.
